Commercial Bank of Ceylon is a bank based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Its account statements are issued as PDFs through online and mobile banking. Upload the statement PDF below and download a QuickBooks-ready CSV (Date, Description, Amount) — extracted, normalized and reconciled first.
The QuickBooks-format file carries the Commercial Bank of Ceylon transactions with dates normalized and amounts signed — the layout that imports into QuickBooks Online and Desktop's CSV routines without manual reformatting.
The main use is catch-up months in QuickBooks, imported in order and reconciled there. Every conversion is checked against the statement itself: where the statement prints opening and closing (or running) balances, the extracted transactions must add up to them, or the conversion is flagged and the mismatched rows are marked. A statement whose layout the reader cannot parse is reported honestly — never passed off as converted.
Reconciliation is what separates conversion from copying. Once the Commercial Bank of Ceylon transactions are extracted, the converter replays them: opening balance plus each row in turn must reproduce every printed running balance and land exactly on the closing figure. Passing both checks is the only route to a reconciled result; there is no partial pass and no silent correction. What cannot be proven is labelled, never smoothed over.
Before converting, spend thirty seconds on the Commercial Bank of Ceylon document itself: confirm the period matches the month you are closing, note the opening and closing balances, and scan for the period's largest transactions. The closing zone carries the balances and any fees or interest summaries; it is the closing zone the reconciliation check answers to, and the first place to look when a conversion is flagged.
In Sri Lanka, bookkeepers commonly work in QuickBooks and Xero; the Excel and CSV exports from this converter are the files those tools import, and the QuickBooks export is laid out for direct import where the tool accepts it.
Download all twelve periods first and convert them as one batch, then work through the reconciliation results month by month in order. Fix flagged months before importing anything: it is far easier to resolve a difference against twelve tidy statements than inside a year of mixed postings.
QuickBooks reads the signed Amount column directly: money in positive, money out negative, as printed. If your books use the split debit/credit view after import, that is QuickBooks' own presentation — the uploaded file's single column is what it expects.
These are the general steps most banks follow for statement downloads; exact menu labels vary by bank and change over time.
Tip: where the portal shows a 'final' or 'corrected' version of a statement, convert that one — reissued statements supersede the original figures.
Save the statement as a PDF from Commercial Bank of Ceylon online banking, add it to the converter above, and take the a QuickBooks-ready CSV (Date, Description, Amount) it produces. Extraction, column normalization and the reconciliation check all happen before the download is offered.
Expect the order printed on the statement itself dates and amounts with the grouping printed on the statement itself on a Commercial Bank of Ceylon statement. The reader is locale-aware, so those conventions are handled rather than misread, and the output columns come out in the standard layout regardless.
Where the statement prints opening and closing (or running) balances, the converter adds up the extracted transactions and compares the result with the statement itself. If the numbers do not tie, the conversion is flagged and the mismatched rows are marked — a failed check is never shown as a success.
Yes — it is one of the strongest checks available. The converter walks the extracted amounts against the printed running balance row by row, so a single dropped or duplicated transaction is pinpointed instead of merely suspected.
Convert them separately and import only one version of the overlap. Banks occasionally reissue a corrected statement for a period; the later issue supersedes the earlier, and importing both would double the shared days.
Yes. Download each month as its own PDF and upload them together — batch mode converts them in one run and, in Excel, adds a combined sheet. Each statement is still reconciled separately, because balances are per statement.
Yes. Credit-card statements use a Previous Balance / New Balance layout, which the converter reads as well; purchases are positive and payments are negative, and the same totals check applies.
Date, Description, Amount, Debit, Credit and Balance — the same normalized columns for every bank, so a Commercial Bank of Ceylon file and a file from any other bank in Sri Lanka can be imported and reviewed the same way.
No. Uploaded files and generated exports are stored only briefly to complete the download and are automatically deleted within 15 minutes.
